I hired Pat Cadle based on his five-star rating reviews, and it turns out that those reviews were…read moreentirely accurate! Pat is a very knowledgeable and experienced professional, and he obviously trains and employs only the best crew. Bottom line: If their work can satisfy me (a fussy, former building/design professional), it can satisfy just about anyone. That said, I feel very safe in strongly recommending Pat's Masonry.

As an added bonus his quote was the best we received after receiving multiple from area contractors. Definitely recommend him for future work. Other things that really stuck out with me were a handwritten thank you card for allowing him to provide us with a quote and a thank you letter after the work was done. You don't see that these days and that was great to see.

The result was a beautiful transformation of both the front and back yards of my townhouse. After our consultation, Bryan provided beautiful renderings showing the vision for the finished project. I chose flagstone for the backyard, which was the more expensive option, but in my opinion, it was well worth it because of how beautiful it turned out. Bryan and his crew were professional, knowledgeable, and took pride in their work. I'm extremely happy with the finished project and would highly recommend California Concrete.

Baltazar came and gave me my initial quote and answered any of my questions. When I was scheduled,…read moreI was scheduled out about 3 weeks and within those 3 weeks my basement flooded again. When I called them they moved me up to an emergency appointment to fix my issue. They came on a Sunday when it was raining and dug up and installed water pipes to drain rainwater away from my basement. It was a massive undertaking and I'm glad that I got a quote from Virginia Drainage and Erosion. I would definitely recommend them to at least come and give you a quote. The pricing is reasonable for my project.

They were exceptionally professional, including cleaning up the worksite each evening and putting things out of the way so we could use our space while they were gone. They even raked the lawn and swept each time they were completed.

My experience with JES Repair was frustrating and ultimately disappointing…read more The project itself was completed on schedule, but the quality and planning of the work left a lot to be desired. The beam repairs appear to have been completed in the easiest way possible, with little consideration for the work that would need to happen afterward. The crew cut the subfloor approximately three inches away from the walls and left it unsupported. As a result, my flooring contractor had to tear out two sections of flooring and replace the entire subfloor in those areas because the necessary repairs were never addressed during the original project. Even more frustrating, JES only opened a limited section of the floor instead of exposing the entire affected area. Once the flooring contractor had everything opened up, additional damaged wood was discovered that now requires even more repairs. Since JES was already working in that area, it is difficult to understand how these issues weren't identified or why the floor wasn't opened far enough to properly inspect the entire section. Addressing everything while the area was already exposed would have saved significant time, cost, and disruption. The inspection process was another major disappointment. The county inspection failed and was rescheduled without anyone from JES informing me ahead of time. I was then told that no one from JES would attend the reinspection and that it was between me and the county. As a homeowner, I'm not a contractor and shouldn't be expected to answer technical questions or represent the company's work to the building inspector. I hired JES expecting professional workmanship, thorough planning, and support through the entire process. Instead, I've been left coordinating additional repairs, paying for work that could have been avoided, and handling inspection issues that should have been managed by the contractor. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend JES Repair. UPDATE (07/08/2026): I connected with the resolution team and are working through the issues in a positive and constructive manner.

To be fair, I was contacted by the owner of this company. He apologized profusely for not getting…read moreback to me and without going into much detail had a very reasonable excuse. My honest opinion, the owner was sincere in his apology. I always like to support small businesses and would hate to think that someone would be dissuaded from giving this company a chance because of my isolated experience. It was what it was and I'll chalk it up to bad timing. This company did come highly recommended by several of my neighbors so if you are on the fence about calling, please give them a chance. I have an idea your experience will be much better than my initial experience. Had I not already had the work done, I would have been willing to give Lasting Impressions the opportunity to give me a quote for my project.
